Boundary County will be recognized at the
upcoming meeting of the Idaho Transportation
Board later this week for achieving zero traffic
fatalities during 2015.
The Idaho Transportation Board meeting,
scheduled for this Wednesday and Thursday, July
27 and 28, will be held in Coeur d’Alene. On
their first meeting day, the Board will be
touring several north Idaho businesses (none in
Boundary County), and on Thursday, their second
meeting day, the agenda shows they will be
formally recognizing Boundary County for its
commitment to the “Toward Zero Deaths” program.
As part of that recognition, the Transportation
Board and the Idaho Transportation Department
will honor the Boundary County Sheriff’s Office,
Boundary County, and Idaho State Police District
1 in achieving the national goal of zero traffic
deaths in 2015.
 The
National Strategy on Highway Safety, called
Toward Zero Deaths, aims to reduce the deaths on
our nation’s roadways from over 33,000 each year
to zero. The TZD plan provides countermeasures
in education, engineering, enforcement and
emergency medical services for organizations,
businesses and individuals toward reducing
traffic deaths.
In another item of business on the
Transportation Board agenda, the board will meet
with the mayors of several north Idaho cities,
along with officials from cities and road
districts across the area. Bonners Ferry Mayor
David Sims and Boundary County Road and Bridge
Director Clint Kimball are among those scheduled
to give brief reports to the Idaho
Transportation Board at their Thursday meeting. |
